   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2467
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken, Circuit Judge, and Menendez, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. While a reasonable fact finder could conclude 
   the defendant police officer used excessive force by taking plaintiff to 
   the ground in an effort to detain him, defendant was entitled to qualified 
   immunity on plaintiff's civil rights claim as neither plaintiff nor this 
   court can identify a case or body of law clearly establishing as of August 
   13, 2017, the date of the incident, that defendant's use of force was 
   excessive, even viewing the facts in the light most favorable to 
   plaintiff; the district court erred in denying defendant's motion for 
   summary judgment based on qualified immunity, and the case is remanded 
   with instructions to grant judgment to defendant and to dismiss the case.
